2008

Pilgrim Hall Museum is closed until May 31, 2008
for a major expansion and renovation project.

Pilgrim Hall's treasured collections are held in trust for posterity.  
The 1824 granite Hall, however, needs immediate and extensive modifications 
to guarantee that this trust is upheld.  
Climate improvements are imperative, universal access is crucial, 
the artifacts have outgrown the space, our permanent exhibition needs 
to be reconfigured to convey the inherent drama of the Pilgrim story.

These critical changes are NOW underway!

December 2008

Coming at year end - another Holiday House Tour and, of course, the annual celebration of the Landing of the Pilgrims on "Forefathers Day."  
The actual anniversary date of the Landing is December 21 but, when the day falls on a Sunday (as it does in 2008), the Pilgrim Society celebrates a day early - on Saturday, December 20.  Mark your calendars and check back for details!
